Re: Thanksgiving bourbon/rye

Thanks, WhiskyRI. We are TPS customers but I have never paid much attention to their minis selection. McScrooge's, on the other hand, had literally barrels of minis. It's probably a matter of store displays. Happy Holidays.

Re: Thanksgiving bourbon/rye

I took a wide array for our latest T-day gathering tonight,mostly a wine crowd mind you.My offering were EC12,ECBP,Stagg Jr.,Sr.,Old Forester BIB and OFBB'13 the high proofers really scared most of them off and the masses actually flocked towards the OF BIB.This proves absolutely nothing but I figured I'd share anyway.

Re: Thanksgiving bourbon/rye

I'm gonna have to look into that yet. I can't believe this hasn't been done yet, and marketed....at least by the big guys who have enough varieties to do it.

edit.......looking into this, someone does make one (http://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies...alendar/?srh=1), but it's scotch, and damned pricey. I'd like to make one of these next year for a good friend who likes his bourbon. Maybe string them along like x-mas lights, with each one wrapped in wrapping paper, like a little gift, so you don't know what you're getting til you open it each day. This is a gift I'd love to receive. good idea, flyfish!

Re: Thanksgiving bourbon/rye

The "calendar" need not be an actual calendar. Two dozen bottles each with a numbered neck tag for the date to open would suffice and provide a lot more flexibility. WhiskyRI had a good idea about rebottling as a way to present bourbons not readily available in minis. If push came to shove, my son in law would be quite content with 24 little bottles of Booker's.

Re: Thanksgiving bourbon/rye

Booker's already comes in a mini - as does Knob Creek, Baker's and Jim Beam. So does Fighting Cock. I'm now going to work on finding at least 24 minis of different bourbons. Just because. I like the idea of rebottling though. Imagine being able to buy a 50ml of Vintage OGDBiB, or VVOF, or should I mention it Pappy 12, 15 or 23....The possibilities are endless and oh so profitable.
